What our customers say

Efficient Tuition really lives up to its name! Our son lives in China, so I wanted to learn Mandarin. In the summer of 2006, I had my first lesson with Efficient Tuition, at a very basic level. In the summer of 2008, I traveled with family members to China to visit our son and see the Olympics. I was able to easily converse in Mandarin with many Chinese people throughout the trip, amazing my family and adding immeasurably to my enjoyment of traveling in China. A special highlight was meeting my teacher, now a good friend, at the Beijing Olympics. Next time, I hope to go to Wuhan and visit good friends there. Efficient Tuition is a very special company. One-on-one lessons are simply the very best way to learn a language. The teachers are wonderful, the materials are well-prepared, and the cost is reasonable. I highly recommend Efficient Tuition to anyone wishing to learn Mandarin.

My daughter Hannah had her first paid lesson with new teacher Samantha just now. I wanted to let you know that we are very pleased with Samantha. Our daughter Hannah had a wonderful lesson and likes Samantha very much. In fact this was the best lesson we have had since starting learning Chinese. We look forward to our nerst lesson for Hannah! Thank you!

Thank you very much for the trial lesson!

I think that I don’t need to try more classes with other schools. First I would like to buy only 20 lessons. Then I will buy more if I have the impression that this works well for me and that I want to continue.

I like it very much that you are so flexible and do not force your students to learn by your method. I have a very good feeling about your school. I have also contacted other internet schools but they have disappointed me. I have paid the lesson now. I would like to start tomorrow at 7pm. Regards,

The school has been very well run and helpful to me as a student. Crace and the administrative staff have been extremely efficient at fixing problems with connections and software. I really enjoy the service, having an online connection with a native Chinese speaker is a great way to learn. It is an excellent value, private lessons, convenient, inexpensive and fun. If you are serious about learning Chinese, Efficient Chinese Tuition is an excellent venue to use.

I have taken lessons for over 3 years. I have had 3 teachers all of which have been very good. My current teacher Wei Yao is the best. She makes the class fun, adds many interesting points about Chinese culture. For example during the 08 Olympics in Beijing we spent several weeks learning the Chinese words for the various sports. Wei Yao speaks English very well and makes the classes easy to understand. She consistently makes the class challenging but is always encouraging me to go further. She is never critical and always makes the class fun and interesting. I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn Chinese use Wei Yao and Efficient Tuition.

My daughter, Ji Lian has been with your company for a year, and she looks forward to her lessons with Wei Yao. Early on, I communicated to WeiYao my goals for Ji Lian, which was to be able to be comfortable to converse in Mandarin. This goal is steadily being met, and I can see she's getting more confident in speaking Mandarin.

I recommend this school, because the teachers and patient and understanding, and the Administration staff is available to help with any questions. It is also quite affordable for families.

I have been studying with LearnChineseOnline for a little bit over a year now. And so far can only say nice words about the lessons, teachers and customer service.

Before I was trying to learn Chinese in college and on my own but my progress was not even close to what I am able to achieve now with LearnChineseOnline.

Content of lessons is interesting, useful and covers large variety of real life situations.

The individual one-to-one teaching approach really keeps you involved and focused on the lesson making you learn faster and more efficient. And the software that LearnChineseOnline uses provides a lot of interaction possibilities and allows you to achieve pretty much like the real one-to-one in person classroom experience.

It's important to emphasize the teacher's role in the learning process. I would like to say thank you to my teacher as she is probably one of the best teachers I've had during my lifetime. She is very dedicated and patient, always able to help and answer any questions. She by far exсeеds my the most exigent expectations and she is always able to make lessons useful, interesting and fun.

I'm really happy with the service that LearnChineseOnline provides (and this is at a very competitive price) and I'm planing to continue my study with them.

My teacher,Gao lingli has very creative ideas in terms of thinking of lesson ideas.

Since March of 2007, I've had the pleasure of working with Chinesehour to improve my Chinese. I had to move to Taipei for work and I only had six months to become relatively fluent. I'd learned some foreign languages before, but, frankly, Mandarin seemed like a difficult language to learn. For the past nine months, they have been a real help and I've gone from a very basic level of Mandarin to an intermediate level. Their lessons are well-planned and the scheduling is usually flexible. The flexibility of scheduling definitely made a difference since I knew that I had to speak Chinese every day. Also the fact that the lessons were over the phone helped me understand Chinese without having someone physically present, which at first seemed more difficult. In terms of the staff, all of the teachers speak clearly and take a genuine interest in their students. I've only been living in Taipei for a few weeks, but my transition would have been much more difficult if I hadn't had their help in preparing for my transition. I would definitely recommend their services."

The customer service has always been easy to work with. They respond very quickly to any questions. The flexibility to change class times is very convenient. I use the one on one lessons which allows me to go at my own pace and review past lessons if needed which is very helpful when I have a busy week at work and have not had time to study. All the teachers I have had have been very nice. The teachers are very flexible to adjust the lessons to help me. I have the most trouble with listening and understanding so some lessons the teacher will talk more and keep repeating until I can hear and understand all the words. They are also very good to answer questions I send by e-mail outside of the class time.

Great teaching and service. Learn Chinese Online allows you to have customized lessons suited to your level and needs. April Yang Jing is a wonderful teacher with a high level of enthusiasm and patience.

Charlotte Finance New York, USA

What I like about Jing's teaching is that she stretches me very much. I learn many new Chinese characters every week, and I gradually find that my Chinese speaking ability is increasing, often unexpectedly. I saw Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon last week, and surprisingly understood quite a lot of it. Because I am expected to learn, I do learn.

Efficient Chinese company offers an economical way to learn Chinese. The company will work with you to tailor a program that fits the amount of time you can study. They will work with you to give you a teacher that is compatible with you and also a schedule you can meet. Your teacher will assign work for you to prepare and work with you to make improvements where necessary. The teachers have great patience when you are working to improve.

I am a satisfied customer. I would also recommend that you sign up for the most economical lessons as soon as you are comfortable that you want to learn Chinese.

I have learnt Chinese with you for several months this year, havinglessons twice a week. This has been a very convenient and cost effective way ofhaving one on one lessons with a native Chinese speaker.

I feel the lessons are going really well andthat I am learning very quickly. Before starting lessons, I wasn't confidentspeaking, and I feel much more confident forming sentences and havingconversations. I think the material has been very helpful, and gives a goodbasis for the lessons. You are doing well at both pushing me to harder content,as well as supporting me when I struggle. Finding that balance is part of theart of teaching, and I really appreciate the results!
